Hoping 4 will be better. We watched Extraction 2 and turned it off halfway through for the same reason. Heatpoundiing but just too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try having two daughters if you want to increase your stress level. I STILL don't have them figured out. With age comes wisdom? I call BS! My youngest is 26 and has never listened to much classic rock it's all been boom boom rap, yet we roll into that Eagles show a couple years ago and it's sing along time AND she knew every word to every song they played. What AM I missing? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Yup, that's the way it rolls @Marvel My girls are both great kids I just shake my head when I see me surfacing. lol The youngest decided she was going to Coachella when she was at OSU. Some ballers she knew won some 3 on 3 tourney and picked up 100k so they were payin for the airfare. Then she and her roomate realized the tickets were off the charts so called me whining a bit. I laffed and told her to find the weakest link in the fencing around the place and smooth the the dumbest looking dude in a security shirt tell him to close his eyes and go blind for one minute. Then I told her it was up and over the snow fence with the first one over holding it down for the rest. The next thing I saw was after it was over. It was a post on instagram. "Yea, we got in for free but I don't know how long it's gonna take us to heal after going up and over the fence. Thanks Dad!" I just shook my head. A chip off the old block for sure. I had to google it to find out what Coachella even was. That security dude didn't know what hit him and prolly didn't care. 😂 Gotta preach n teach! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women and men just think differently. That simple. I love women... but, I'll never understand them. Coachella??? In the hottest, driest part of CA's desert... after Death Valley. They grow dates around there. Dates don't do well under 120`F. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I kind of like John Coltrane, but my wife, a trained musician, hates his music. Until I saw this clip about Giant Steps, I didn't realize it is that JC's music complexity drives musicians crazy: https://www.facebook.com/reel/652690813418391?s=yWDuG2&fs=e 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were growing figs during the American Civil War. Don't know when the fig plant died.

JohnJ Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Man, I've spent the week searching the www, calling folks and realtors. It's used several GBs on the phone and long hours. Even started looking in other states, KY had a couple cool cabins in my budget but just moving that far would be $$. Always something, gotta keep on rolling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBCODD Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Siri is more up to date than I. Asked her three times to find “Peterson Air Force Base”. Came up blank. Reason? This facility is now “Peterson Space Force Base”. Alla dat to say that the ID card section there is Prime. Pats ID card had expired and mine was short time. Got in and out in less than an hour. Technology is great. Either the imaging is way better, or I have finally gotten as ugly as a gummint photo. The pic on the card looks like me! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 got the wife back home. The dust is settling. Her vacation wasn't much relaxing. A lot of things going on in her fam... I was tending the garden yesterday ... a hummingbird was checking me out. It flew around my head and stopped right in my face. Eye-to-eye. It couldn't have been more than 6in from my face. It hovered there for 15 seconds or so.It was pretty cool. I don't encourage them to get friendly. The cats ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
